the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of corn substitution with triticale in grower diets (zero, 50 and 100%) with/without exogenous enzyme supplementation on growth performance, digestive organs relative weight, jejunal morphology and blood lipids of quail chicks. two hundred and forty one-day-old unsexed japanese quail chicks were randomly assigned to a completely randomiz...

background: the degree to which the amount of aningested nutrient is absorbed and available to the body is calledbioavailability. objectives: relative effectiveness of herbalmethionine (h-met®) compared to dl-methionine (dl-met)was investigated in this experiment. methods: exponentialregression analysis was used to determine bioefficacy of h-met®based on body weight gain, feed intake and feed c...

four west african dwarf (wad) grower bucks averaging 6 kg in weight and aged between 5-6 months of age were used in a digestive trial to determine the intake and digestibility of raw or processed pigeon pea seed meal based diets. the diets designated rpbd, spbd, tpbd and bpbd were formulated from cassava peel, palm kernel cake, brewers dry grain, bone meal and common salt to contain 15% of raw,...

an experiment was conducted on 240 one-day old ross 308 broiler chicks using a completely randomized design in a 2×3 factorial arrangement with two levels of nano-adjuvant (with and without) and three levels of dietary protein (low, medium and high) during a 42 d experimental period. the main effect of protein density on feed intake was significant during the starter and grower periods (p

This experiment was conducted to determine the chemical composition and gross energy of poultry by product meal (PBPM) and the effects of different levels of inclusion of poultry by product meal on broiler chicken performance, serum uric acid and carcass characteristics. Three samples of PBPM produced in Ardabil province located in northwest of Iran, were provided during one month sampling peri...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of physical feed form on performance and nutritional behaviors in broilers. this experiment was done in a completely randomized design with several observational with 3 treatments and 5 replicate. dietary treatments included off of pellet form, crumble and mash form with similar components for 3 periods starter (0-10 days), grower (11-24 days...

Boars (entire male pigs) consume less feed than barrows (castrated male pigs) under practical ad libitum feeding conditions, but the knowledge about possible reasons is only limited. Since the lysine and energy contents of the diet are known to be important determinants of voluntary feed intake, it was of interest if sex specific responses to selected dietary lysine-toenergy ratios could explai...
